Gute Lage, aber keine 5*
Pros:

Das Hotel hat eine Top Lage direkt in der Bucht, mit Blick auf den Hafen von Puerto Ayora.
Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich, bemüht sich, auch zu improvisieren, wenn nicht alles klappt.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist kein 5*, würde dies eher als 3*+ bezeichnen. Fast täglich waren Stromausfälle. Es gibt keinen Pool, keine Liegestühle, das Restaurant wird von einer Drittfirma betrieben. Das Essen war teilweise sehr gut, an anderen Tagen, naja... Alles ist gut gepflegt, aber doch schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Pros:

Pequeno almoço simples, com Menu, mas muito agradável. Para quem está à espera de um pequeno almoço com buffet e muitas opções, não existe. Quarto simples, mas confortável. Extrema simpatia de todos os empregados. Vista e proximidade de tudo (embora apenas de barco que leva 4 a 5 min)

Cons:

Wi-Fi extremamente fraco e com bastantes interrupções. Barulho no quarto proveniente de pisos superiores e restaurante. Limitação para deslocar a pé.
